The Woodlands High School graduate Paul Goldschmidt has been impressive this season, but Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles may have been the highlight of the year for the Arizona Diamondbacks' first baseman.

Goldschmidt smacked a solo home run to left-center field in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the game at 3. But he wasn't done there.

In the bottom of the 11th frame, Goldschmidt lifted the first pitch of his at-bat into right field, a 374-foot shot that gave the Diamondbacks a 4-3 victory. It was his third walk-off home run of the season and fourth walk-off hit overall.

Goldschmidt is batting .297 this season and now has 29 home runs and 93 RBI. He was named a National League All-Star for the first time in his career earlier this summer.
